GET DROOL TICKETS NOW Tickets will also be available at the door! There’s nothing like a good shopping spree to improve your day: …of course, finding the right stroller is a somewhat more complex proposition than finding the right blouse, or shoes, or mini-skirt.

Tax Free Weekend is coming up on August 10-11, and it’s the perfect time to do some serious buying for baby. 6.25% sales tax may not sound like much, but it can really stack up when you’re, say, furnishing your nursery. In this blog, we came up with a basic nursery design, and we’ll demonstrate how much you can save ... Read More »

Tax-Free Weekend is on the horizon, with plenty of opportunities to save – after all, sales tax is 6.25% in Massachusetts, and that adds up fast. Using our Quick-Add Registry, I put together a quick list of baby essentials for a hypothetical shopper, and ran some numbers. (And by the way, the Quick-Add Registry is really fun to use!) Here’s ... Read More »

It’s nerve-wracking to put on an event like Drool. There are a lot of moving pieces and a lot of things that can go wrong. So many people need to work together in harmony for it to come off without a hitch. But on Tuesday night, in spite of a few challenges (pouring rain + parking problems + faltering internet ...

The story of Peter Pan is a classic. Over the years, the original story by J.M. Barrie has been adapted into plays, musicals, movies, and even video games. The new production of Peter Pan borrows from all those genres, and it is, as Peter would say, an awfully big adventure. I’ve been hearing buzz about this Peter Pan “in-the-round” for ... Read More »

Here’s an interesting fact: having a baby is the most demanding consumer research project most people will ever confront. The number of product categories and the relatively short time frame lead to a marathon of information gathering that begins with the pink line on the pregnancy test and continues well into toddlerhood. We hear it from expectant parents over and ... Read More »

Great store and staff. Worked with Mike who was very knowledgeable. He offered great advice and didn't get the feeling like he was always trying to sell me something. Mike went above and beyond for us during this process with our first child. Thank you!

Great experience shopping today. They have a great selection and if you need to go to a brick and mortar store they are very local. The free gift wrap is a nice touch too!

Magic Beans is the place that your parents WISH they had when you were a wee babe. After VERY different experiences at some of the more popular "big box"-type stores, we found the staff here to be helpful, caring, engaging, and 110% willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that Mama & Papa understand and are comfortable with the products they sell.

Magic Beans has superb customer service!
Ms. Andrea Kelly assisted me with my Nuna 2019 Tavo & Nuna Pipa purchase. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The transaction went smoothly and shipping was fast (I'm in California). Great experience! I highly recommend Magic Beans for all of your baby needs.

Magic Beans has a well-curated selection of awesome goods! The employees know their stuff and always steer us in the right direction. It is our go-to store for our new baby.

Best place ever to shop for strollers and baby carriers! The staff is knowledgeable and warm. I spent over an hour here to learning about strollers, car seats, baby wraps, etc. I placed an order and the stroller arrived very quickly. A must stop for baby equipment.

We found Magic Beans on the recommendation of a friend, and really took a liking to them from their extensive YouTube videos on product comparisons and details of new product releases. We liked being able to walk to the store from our apartment, and we ended up doing almost our entire registry with them. We have nothing but great things to say.

We all want to buy from local places. Frequently, however, we are disappointed, because either the price is prohibitive or the service is lacking.

Magic Beans is an anomaly. The pricing is competitive and the people know their stuff. I have had a number of interactions with MB over the last 6 months and have purchased the stroller, the car seat and the attachment for the seat into the stroller as well as a number of accessories, toys and games.

At every point, they provided the right advice...and as a bonus helped me assemble and disassemble the various hardware. They went out of their way to help especially during a stressful time.

So if you want to be happy with the latest baby hardware, go to Magic Bean first...This is a first rate locally owned business.

The staff at Magic Beans is incredible!!! The most positive and helpful shopping experience for me and my expecting wife. The staff listened to our needs and explained different options for strollers, car seats, cribs, bassinets, and just about everything else we would eventually need as new parents. Helpful beyond measure! No other stores offer this level of assistance, attention, and support. I recommend this be a priority starting point for all soon-to-be-parents!!!
